Una historia de la mentira

A story of the lie is, against all odds, a risky bet to reveal the truth of the lie, to tirelessly follow its tracks to the last nook where it hides or shows itself: because sometimes the lie is elusive and dark, but in many others it is exposed before us loud and dazzling. Juan Jacinto Muñoz Rengel traces, throughout these pages, its presence from its first appearance in history - which may be precisely the appearance of history itself - to its hegemonic position in our contemporary societies to find its authentic meaning, its uses and abuses, its inextricable relationship with human nature. If this is not, itself, another lie.
